"Hi, just required you to know I he added your site to my Google bookmarks due to your layout. But seriously, I believe your internet site has 1 in the freshest theme I??ve came across. It extremely helps make reading your blog significantly easier."

Google for sure! Don't think there's a single other search bar on the internet that can return results relevant to maps, calculations, conversions, images, videos across the various languages that it supports, from the very same text field.

I also used Altavista for many years before Google came around. There are still many reasons to use alternatives to Google, for example local search engines can offer advantages like Canuckster.com for Canadians. Especially if you are on a hunt, instead of just a quick search, as you'll find things Google just won't pull up for you without real digging, and for the variation in local sponsorships which replace the usual adwords ads on Google, you end up getting advertisers that are much closer to home. Or topic specific search engines that have real humans monitoring results making sure that only relevant content for the genre in question is listed, but you have to be really into something specific for that.
